Comics--out of all of the forums, that's where I'd be most qualified since I've had four years experience running a topic there.

I'm pretty sure I don't use it anymore. I did at one point, though.

Yay Velox/Sumiki! I'm not surprised, and that goes to show how much those were deserved.And Janus got rid of the revival rule in Artwork III, so that makes him awesome. Good luck with the rest of whatever you do!As for Mysterious Minifig, he was so mysterious that the only thing I remember about him was when he got promoted in the first place. Thanks for your work here anyway!

@Tav: Any chance of a MajShelf mirror? I can't read this one.

@LR: Thanks!@Chath/Ddude: This was mostly based on the 3DS launch commercial, which shows Nintendo executives playing a 3DS and getting sucked inside. And most people I show my 3DS to say it's giving them a headache immediately, though I've never had a problem with it.Anyway, contest entry time! I didn't know the deadline was extended until I began preparing to post my entry. :PMaj isn't working, so I'm hosting things elsewhere.Oh, and also, this time the length is due to panel size rather than amount as usual. XDBZPower Comics Contest 1: Get a Clue!A Dark DeedFull comic (>9MB, >15Kpx long)Parts: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4Banners (I'm going to take the lazy ICC route here and assume you know what to do with these URLs):Regular: NOT FOR USE IN BZP SIGNATURES; it's too big for that.Signature safe: Use if you've got room/don't mind the jpeggerySmaller PNG: Use if the other one's too big/you have a deathly allergic reaction to jpeggery

I'd love the deadline extension if it weren't for the fact that I stayed up last night working on it (leaving the final touches for today), and didn't find out the deadline was extended until just a little while ago, when I was already done. I'm still glad it was done though, as mildly frustrating as this is--three weeks was barely enough time for me to do this; I kind of feel like I rushed parts of it.Anyway:Member name: TavakaiEntry name: A Dark DeedEntry URLs: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4Thumbnail URL: Entry topic: TavKorp(I'm in the process of posting it in the topic, and as soon as I do I'll put the comic at the top of the post in large text. That way, even though there's tons of other comics there, it shouldn't inconvenience people.)

Eh, I still prefer Diamond Sword."I can swing my sword, sword, I can swing my sword, sword! You cannot afford-ford, my Diamond Sword, sword! I can swing my sword sword, swing my Diamond Sword, sword..."

Like Kahi, I've actually kind of been thinking about this style too, though for me it was only a vague idea in the back of my mind that was inspired by Nanonicle. So just for that, I love these comics already. And you've managed to make the rest of the graphics amazing too, and the humor, so I think I'll just explode from overawesome now.

@Oneker: Thanks!Anyway, fourth anniversary of the comics is today, February 10. I planned on at the very least finishing that 4-year Norik head comic that was due back in October, but then came this contest and it's preoccupied all of my free time now.So since I don't have an anniversary comic or image or other commemorative thingy, here's a new comic that I made six months ago:Disregard Forums Acquire Pokemans part 9: The Hazards of the 3DSAnd here we have another ICC member being lit on fire in this filler. This also references a 3DS commercial, for those who haven't seen it.In other news, I added mirror links to most of the comics up there so you can still read them if/when Maj goes down again.

RWAM 15: ReversalFun fact: Every single female comic maker I know of is in this comic. No. No wait. It seems I forgot the only one who's in the ICC. Yeah. Major fail there. Also, I didn't know who Makuta of Comedy was at the time, so she's not in it.Since this was pretty much inspired by Lavaside Rahi's blog entry from a while back on the lack of good female characters and female comic makers in general, I thought it was only fitting to put it in Razor and include LR himself.Red Starbucks is Kahi's idea. I'm pretty sure it hasn't been used yet, so that's why I'm going out of my way to credit him here so you guys don't think it was me.Next RWAM comic is the last.Also, general news, I plan on entering the contest. Almost done with making the basic vectors for the characters.

Darn majhost.comic-It's GO Time

Okay, done with the script, so now all I have to do it make it. I'm planning on using vectors though, so that should probably take just about the entire three weeks to finish if I finish it by then at all. Looking forward to it, though.

DisForAcqPok 8: The Secret of the ClosetThis coincidence is mind-blowing.You may remember in LLL where there was a portal made from the NGC universe to the ICC universe (I'd link but Maj is down). Well, I made this back in August, didn't tell anyone, and look what happened.Also, I actually have no idea whether all of those NGC people even like Pokemon. If any of you don't, feel free to screenshot this post, print it out, light it on fire, and feed the ashes to the nearest rare endangered snake. I promise not to set my legal team (AKA Kahi) on you. _{(Though of course he's still free to set himself on you)}

That's not Gavla! It's... Gavla?!

That reminds me of this book series I read, where one of the characters found a cursed dagger that gave him a Gollum-like obsession with it for a while until he was cured.

So apparently "rescuing" people from heaven isn't as easy as Ennar made it seem.

After hearing about Nid's untimely death, I feel horrible for spending $240 in the past four months on 3DS-related products. Not enough to stop doing so, unfortunately. :(And that concert was indeed beautiful.

Nice to see Dok's ridiculously huge kit back in the forum again.I'd suggest updating the BZPCW link to the one on the new location though.

New comic!Disregard Forums Acquire Pokemans part 7: Everybody Loves SurfingIt is interesting to note that the CD in this comic is as much HM03 (or whatever they call Surf these days) as that chair is a Haxorus. It is in fact Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, the greatest game in the history of ever. And it was just shoved down a throat normally used for narration and announcing.

Getting up is one of the hardest challenges in life. I feel sorry for Chilly.

Hasn't happened to me for a while--I distanced myself from themes besides Bionicle so I would have more money to buy Bionicle, and so when it ended, I didn't have much of an interest in buying Lego at all any more.If you like it, don't let other people tell you what to do. Some people say the age I'm at is too old for Pokemon, but I still buy the games. Same goes with people who buy Lego stuff.

oh man there are almost too many rpuns in this series. Plus, Windrider's reactions almost completely make up for Pohuaki leaving (okay maybe not really but still), so that's awesome.

YESI unfortunately didn't discover any of your other MASs until about a year or two ago when they were already dead, because I'm a lazy person who doesn't go out and read new topics very often. I'm sorry I didn't. This continues to be as good as those were. Plus, now there's no revival rule so this topic is immortal.

It usually seems to me that people who think they're not as good starting out are better than they think (that's also how it was for me). This is why I decided to check out these comics just now, and I was right. Though you still have quite a bit of room for improvement, of course, you're off to a great start, and if you keep it up you'll get much better.Also, I loved the Shoopquaza--back when I was fighting people in their Secret Bases in Sapphire, I'd always get Hyper Beamed to death by their Rayquaza, so that was really fitting. I'm thinking that RayLaza or Rayquazor or RayLazor would be a slightly better name, but you've already dictated it, so whatever.

Yeah, excluding sprites, while it would encourage creativity, wouldn't really work well here. In my last post I was merely saying that this wouldn't keep me from entering, as I'm fairly good at vector art, but I'd be one of the few. If sprites weren't allowed, it'd probably be mostly people who don't even spend time in the comics forum, which you might not want to happen. Maybe have that for a later contest--the average quality of comics around here has improved a lot over the past few years, and no doubt will continue to as time goes on--but it won't work now.As for what the 2012 thing was about, I'm sure that was just an example thrown out as a possible prompt to make a comic about. You could use that, or you could use a different one.
